A family received a note from a furious neighbour asking them to close their window while cooking meat to stop the "sickening" smell from spreading.
The handwritten note, which was marked as "Please take seriously" and "Important message", was shared on social media by Kylie, who lives in Perth's northern coastal suburb of Burns Beach.
In the letter, the resident claimed their family eat "only plant-based food" and the smell of meat makes them "feel sick and upset".
The note read: "Hello, Neighbour, Could you please shut your side window when cooking, please?
"My family are vegan (we eat only plant-based food), and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset.
"We would appreciate your understanding."

The post has since generated hundreds of comments as online users remain divided on whether the request was reasonable.
"I'd understand if they were smoking cigarettes and the smoke and smell was spreading and affecting the family's health," one person wrote.
"But not liking the smell of meat, this isn't really a good reason to ask someone to close their windows."
Another added: "What does she do when she takes the kids to the park, and people are cooking BBQs? Ask them to stop cooking. Audacity."
However, not everyone thought the request was unreasonable.
"I feel like this was a genuinely polite letter, and it’s true the smell of meat is overpowering," one user said.
"It would be nice to see some respect for your neighbours, and not publicly trying to shame them for holding strong ethical morals."
Another replied: "No one has the right to tell you how to live in your own home!!' Be vegan. Eat meat. Each to their own!"
A second angry letter was sent following a Coronation BBQ on Saturday

A second letter was then sent following a Coronation BBQ which Kylie claims was organised "weeks ago and was not a deliberate act to fire up her neighbours".
It read: "I raised my concerns of the smell of meat making my family feel sick and upset and you go and have a BBQ on Saturday night inviting lots of people and you knew this would affect me and my family."
The note added: "Please no more BBQ's and please keep that window closed when cooking otherwise I'm going to report you and go to social media too."
